Maya Jama is due to return to screens to launch the highly-anticipated 12th series of Love Island.
But one former contestant has recently packed her bags and flown out of the country.
Jess White, 26, rose to fame last summer as she took part in the 11th series of the romantic competition.
She entered the Mallorca villa on the very first day of the show but was dumped on day 38 alongside Hugo Godfroy, Blade Siddiqi, and Emma Milton.
The reality TV personality has escaped the UK for a sun-filled extended break in Ibiza.
She took to social media to show a snap of herself wearing revealing sports gear as she posed by her suitcase.
Her washboard abs were on show as she looked away from the lense with a wry expression.
The star later posed by the pool in her hotel as she cut a skinny figure in a skimpy black two-piece bikini.
It's just a short flight away from another Spanish island, Mallorca, where the infamous villa is located.
This is also just a few days before the new series of the show is due to start, which launches around the June 2nd.
Love Island star drops HUGE hint she's heading onto new summer series after snubbing All Stars
It's been known that some contestants of the All-Stars edition in South Africa flew to another spot before making their way to the final location.
Many stars flew to Dubai before landing in Cape Town where the show was being filmed.
So Jess could well be in holding at a nearby location before a potential dramatic ITV comeback.
This comes as Casey O'Gorman convinced fans he will appear in the villa this summer for a fourth time.

Skibidi, tradwife and delulu: Social media words dominate new additions to Cambridge dictionary
"Skibidi", "tradwife", "delulu" and other slang terms popularised by social media are among thousands of new words to be added to the Cambridge Dictionary this year. Several phrases were also added, such as "mouse jiggler" to refer to inactive work-from-home employees, and the term "forever chemical," a label given to extremely persistent man-made chemicals that pollute the environment. In total, over 6,000 words were added to the dictionary. Skibidi, a meme word with a flexible meaning, was coined by the creator of a viral animated video series called "skibidi toilet" on YouTube, Cambridge Dictionary said. Kim Kardashian revealed her familiarity with the phrase when she posted a video on Instagram in October showing a necklace her daughter had given her as a birthday present, engraved with 'skibidi toilet.' "Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at Cambridge Dictionary. What do some of the new words mean? Skibidi - a gibberish word that can have different meanings, such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning as a joke. An example of its use is: "What the skibidi are you doing?" Tradwife - short for traditional wife, meaning a married woman who stays at home doing cooking, cleaning, and has children that she takes care of, but also regularly documents their life on social media. Delulu - a play on the word delusional, with a similar definition: believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to. Broligarchy - a composite word merging 'bro' and 'oligarchy', meaning a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence. The term has been used to describe Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Mr McIntosh said Cambridge Dictionary only adds words which they believe will stand the test of time. 'It's not every day you get to see words like 'skibidi' and 'delulu' make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary,' he said. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power.' Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than two billion words of written and spoken English, to observe how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used. More remote working since the pandemic helped 'mouse jiggler', meaning a device or piece of software used to make it seem as though you are working when you are not, gain its place in the dictionary. Meanwhile, new entries like 'work wife' and 'work spouse' acknowledge workplace relationships where two people help and trust each other, Cambridge Dictionary said.

Social media terms skibidi, tradwife and delulu added to Cambridge Dictionary
New additions to the Cambridge Dictionary includes slang terms popularised by social media, along with phrases made up of existing words. "Skibidi", "tradwife", "delulu" and other slang terms made popular by social media are among thousands of new words to be included in the Cambridge Dictionary this year. The ongoing remote working situation has brought about terms like "mouse jiggler" and concerns over climate change have led to the addition of the phrase "forever chemical", along with more than 6,000 other words. Slang term "skibidi", a nonsensical word, was added to the world's largest online dictionary in the past 12 months. Defined in the dictionary as "a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad', or can be used with no real meaning as a joke', an example of its use is: "What the skibidi are you doing? "The term was coined by the creator of a viral animated video series called "skibidi toilet" on YouTube, Cambridge Dictionary said, and Kim Kardashian revealed her familiarity with the phrase when she posted a video on Instagram in October showing a necklace her daughter had given her as a birthday present, engraved with "skibidi toilet". Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at Cambridge Dictionary." Tradwife", short for traditional wife, has also seen a surge in popularity, Cambridge Dictionary said, thanks to the digital world. This means a married woman who remains at home carrying out cooking, cleaning, and caring for children, with the dictionary definition also stating a "tradwife" is "especially one who posts on social media". Alongside fresh phrases, some abbreviated versions of existing terms have been included, such as "delulu", a twist on the word delusional, with a comparable definition: "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". Mr McIntosh explained Cambridge Dictionary only incorporates words which they believe will endure over time." It's not every day you get to see words like 'skibidi' and 'delulu' make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," he said. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power." Cambridge Dictionary utilises the Cambridge English Corpus, a database containing more than two billion words of written and spoken English, to monitor how fresh words are employed by various people, how frequently and in which contexts they are used. Increased remote working since the pandemic assisted "mouse jiggler", referring to a device or piece of software used to make it appear as though you are working when you are not, secure its position in the dictionary. Several compound terms such as "broligarchy" were also incorporated. Combining "bro" and "oligarchy", the term refers to "a small group of men, particularly those owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely wealthy and influential, and who seek or possess political influence". This was used to characterise tech moguls Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg at Donald Trump's inauguration in January. In addition, fresh entries such as "work wife" and "work spouse" recognise workplace relationships where two individuals assist and trust each other, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.
